Well perhaps things have changed in the last few years but I know that when we were raising budgets we raised
twice as much as we needed, or at least that was the goal. Didn't always happen for more than one reason but figures were arrived at as far as how much it would cost a family to live in a particular country and then that figure was doubled, not tripled.
I'm really looking forward to meeting missionary friends and we'll get a chance to hash this all over I'm sure. Then I can let you know what the facts really are.
Could be you're right and I'm wrong. There's always the possibilty I guess although I feel quite confident it's the other way around.
